Foster guides the reader in day-to-day ethical decision making while helping each of us determine the proper place in Christian life of money, sex, and power. “The author’s words on how giving can bring authenticity and vitality to a devotional experience are important to hear in this day in which once again there is increased emphasis on spiritual formation and devotional exercises.” —The Christian Century.
